The OP is whining about governments building walls to keep out illegal immigrants and whatnot, and tries to compare these walls to the infamous wall - the Berlin Wall. I'm pointing out that they are quite different. The Berlin Wall was like a prison wall, built to keep people from escaping the Soviet Union (keep people in). The walls in the OP are nothing like that. The walls in the OP are like the Great Wall of China, built to keep people out of the country that built it.
